Error calling Msi API: 1627 Method: MsiViewExecute Table: I

[BrianRHobbs]

Has anyone seen the following error when trying to compile an MSI before?
it was working earlier today - all I've done since then is:

o add a new custom action to the InstallIIS step of a merge module & build it.
o import the new merge module into a current project
o add a new custom action to the InstallIIS step of the current project
and when I build, i (repeatedly) get this error:


[ DefaultBuild ]
Building package (en_GB): C:\core\eWorkbook HEAD\Source Control\Install Pack\E-Workbook Suite\installer\IDBS E-WorkBook Suite 8.1.0 Client Installer.exe

Build finished because an error was encountered.

Hi,

This error is usually encountered when the MSI is in use when you build the project. Please make sure that the MSI is not running or it is not opened in Orca.

Hmm, very strange - I deleted the MSI etc. and it still refused. I reverted all of my changes, re-applied them and it worked fine.

thanks again for the rapid response!
Brian.
